Just a suggestion, how about getting the front grille 'mask' wrapped/painted matt black?

Think It'll look good with the black lights.

Done a few small mods over the long weekend. :smiley: Sprayed calipers, Fitted Smoked Wing Mirror Side Repaters, Foot Rest Plate, Car aerial, Changed orange indicator bulbs to silver to get rid of the orange look. Will get a few pics of them today hopfully. But here are the calipers not really to sure but i can always spray them again  :smiley:

Going to have an attempt to paint the interior trim strips and sterring wheel inserts reflex silver today to match the car. Do they just pull off or held on by sumthing? :confused:

They are held in by little clips, easy to get off. Have you got any plastic trim removal tools? If not try a screw driver with a duster to protect the trim / door cards. Start off at one end and go to the other as one end on most of them is hooked in place!

No i dont have a removal tool but i will find sumthing small and flat to use. Yer i was thinking about wrapping somthing around it to protect it. Il have a go and hope i dont snap them or the clips. :scared:
Thanks  :happy2:

I like your carbon inserts on your rear badge fella. Where did you get the inserts from, and how easy were they to fit?

I got them off flebay and they just stuck on. The best way is to take the badge out and carbon wrap it.
